Taxi of Tomorrow

Nissan has lost, at least for now, its expected exclusive rights to supply new taxis to New York City cabbies, a monopoly position for its gasoline-fueled NV200-based “Taxi of Tomorrow” that was supposed to take effect at the end of October. Nissan maintains that its ToT will do the job in New York, and indicated that a hybrid electric version is likely to follow the gasoline-fueled taxi soon entering production in Mexico.
